American socialite Paris Hilton checked out Shanghai fashions,
cuddled stuffed pandas and sauntered along the famous waterfront
Bund while visiting China's most style-conscious city for the MTV
Style awards.

"Shanghai looks like the future!" Hilton said in a news
conference at the Hyatt on the waterfront, one of the newest
landmarks in a city teaming with new skyscrapers.

A visit to the city's jam-packed Yu Yuan Garden gave her an
authentic taste of Shanghainese "xiaolongbao" - juicy steam buns
and flower tea - and the crowding common in the city of more than
20 million people.

But Hilton, unfazed by the press of onlookers, carried on with
her shopping, pausing to hug an elderly lady and to pose in several
dresses by Chinese designer Lu Kun, one of the city's hottest new
fashion stars.
